Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThyatira "The corrupted Church," offers an interpretive sermon on the biblical message to the church in Thyatira from Revelation 2:18 to the end of chapter 2. The speaker highlights Thyatira as a "compromising church" due to its entanglement with trade guilds that required participation in idolatrous feasts and immoral activities, directly clashing with Christian principles. The sermon rebukes the tolerance of a "false prophetess" named Jezebel who led believers astray into immorality and idolatry, stressing the importance of sound doctrine and moral purity within the church. It also draws parallels between Thyatira's compromises and the perceived compromises of modern Christian denominations, including the Church of Rome and various Protestant churches, by citing historical deviations from biblical teachings. Ultimately, the speaker challenges listeners to examine their own lives for compromise and adhere strictly to Christ's teachings.Support the showIf you enjoy hearing our podcasts why not consider supporting our churchBank Sort Code 60-20-23 Account Number 38445514Account Name "Bootle Protestant Free Church or Cheques can be sent to Pastor Ian Thompson Made to "Bootle Protestant Free Church" University Rd/Trinity Road Bootle Merseyside L20 3BB and why not visit our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/bootleprotestantfreechurch
